Scores TD on productive night Burden secured seven of 11 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for seven yards in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Impact The second-year wideout led the Bears in receptions and targets in the impressive win with totals that also qualified as season highs, while checking in second only to Kalif Raymond in receiving yards. Burden also scored his first touchdown of the season on a nifty shovel pass that he took eight yards to the house while breaking multiple tackles near the goal line to cap off Chicago's opening possession. Burden's ability to click with fill-in signal-caller Case Keenum bodes well for the receiver's fantasy prospects, considering Caleb Williams (hamstring) is still projected to miss several more games. Burden will look to carry over the momentum into a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday.

The Bears Are A Two-Faced Squad; Despite Win, Patriots QB Drake Maye Is Regressing

Leads Chicago in targets in Week 2 loss Burden caught three of seven targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings.

Impact On a wet and windy day at Soldier Field, Burden led all Bears in targets, but that volume didn't result in much production. The second-year wideout has had a slow start to the season, posting an 8-95-0 line on 12 targets through two contests, and his outlook in the short term won't be improved if the hamstring injury that knocked Caleb Williams out of Sunday's contest proves to be serious. Burden could be catching passes from Tyson Bagent instead in a Week 3 home tilt against the Eagles.

The Eagles' New Offense Unleashes Jalen Hurts; Ben Johnson Delivers On The Hype

Luther Burden Talks Smack on Social Media After Bears Crush Panthers in Week 1 After the Chicago Bears dominated the Carolina Panthers in Week 1, Luther Burden made sure to rub it in.

SEPTEMBER 13 • SI.COM

Five grabs in huge Week 1 win Burden caught all five of his targets for 63 yards and added two yards on his only carry in Sunday's 59-37 win over the Panthers.

Impact In the highest-scoring Week 1 game in NFL history, Burden didn't make a huge impact but did the most he could with the targets he got. The Bears' running game was the engine of the offense in this one -- six of their eight TDs came on the ground -- and that balance will tip toward the pass-catchers sooner or later. Burden will look for more volume in Week 2 at home against the Vikings.

SEPTEMBER 10 • Associated Press

Not on Week 1 injury report Burden (groin) is not listed on the Bears' Week 1 injury report Wednesday.

Impact As expected, Burden is ready to go for the start of the season Sunday against the Panthers. He missed some time earlier in the summer with a groin issue, but it was never believed to be serious. With Rome Odunze (calf) limited in practice Wednesday, Burden could have an enormous role in the passing game Sunday if Odunze is unable to play.
